Since the counterrevolutionary revolt calmed down and social turmoil was prevented, overseas, xx reactionary organizations have been set up overseas, which have organized x sorts of reactionary periodicals. They put forward that the main task at present is to strength public opinion and propaganda work, and break down the mainland’s news blackouts. The way in which they profess to conduct “peaceful evolution” in China is to organize a “Voice of China” which is even stronger than the “Voice of America”, and organize a “Chinese Times” which is even higher in quality than the “New York Times”. They also say that “the tanks, machine guns and flamethrowers of democratic movements are our radio stations, newspapers and periodicals”. In our understanding of the situation, the main reactionary periodicals are the following types:

I, In the United States: “Exile”: sponsored by the “Chinese Exiled Writers’ Association” organized by Bei Dao, Liu Weiguo and other people. “Notes of the ’89 Chinese Democratic Movement”, published in New York, sponsored by the overseas student “Democratic Association” member Wu Mouren, in total 60.000 characters and more than 40 photos, foreword by Yan Jiaqi, dedicated to Wu’er Kaixi. “China Review”: the Shanghai “The Thinker” Magazine editor-in-chief Chen Kuide is responsible for arrangement.

The “Guide to the Freedom of the Press”: established on 10 June in America, and compiled by Cao Changqing (original vice-editor-in-chief of the Shenzhen Youth Daily) and more than ten other original mainland news workers who are in the United States. Under the support of Taiwan, the “Chinese Democratic Association” and the “All-America Study Association”, more than 10 numbers have already been published. Every number publishes the addresses of our State organs, and calls on readers to send this newspaper to the mainland.
